"France's national postal and baking services company La Poste was knocked offline by a suspected distributed denial-of-service ( DDoS) attack on Monday, according to an announcement by the company. The postal service called the incident "a major network incident" that was disrupting "all of our information systems." La Poste's online mail and banking services, website, and mobile app are among the services that are temporarily unavailable, per a machine translation of the announcement, which said customers could still carry out banking and postal transactions in person."
"The banking branch of the company La Banque Postale, also published an announcement about the cyberattack, which was "temporarily making our customers' access to their mobile app and online banking space unavailable." Despite claims made by a Russian hacktivist group, it's not yet clear who is behind the cyberattack. The cyberattack comes as the French government contends with a series of cybersecurity incidents of late, including remote control software found planted on a passenger ferry."
La Poste experienced a suspected distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that disrupted all of its information systems and knocked online operations offline. Online mail, banking services, the website, and the mobile app became temporarily unavailable while in-person banking and postal transactions remained possible. La Banque Postale confirmed temporary loss of customer access to mobile and online banking. A Russian hacktivist group claimed responsibility, but attribution remains unconfirmed. The incident occurred amid a series of recent French cybersecurity problems, including remote-control software found on a passenger ferry and a separate Interior Ministry email data breach.
